¡Nio and Pigeon (Clear Green Color Vinyl)
¡Toshiyuki Miyama & Newherd
Description
[Machine Translation] Niou dances, doves dance. Ethereal melodies fluttering in the strong groove. This is the quintessence and climax of New Hard, pursuing the possibilities of the big band sound. Since the release of "Perspective" in 1969, New Hard, led by Toshiyuki Miyama, one of Japan's leading big bands, has been exploring new horizons in big band jazz with its cutting-edge sound. This album, Niou to Hato (The King and the Dove), released in 1972, is one of the representative works of New Hard. Kozaburo Yamaki wrote and arranged all of the music, and deeply pursued one of his long-standing themes, "Japan. The dense and multi-layered arrangements and performances express Japanese customs, traditions, and scenes. The melodies are profound and dynamic, with an ethereal Japanese sentiment. The songs are full of deep flavors and great stimulation, starting with "Seijinshiki (coming of age ceremony)" led by a strong groove. This is the true essence of new hard music at its best. text by Yusuke Ogawa ( universounds/Deep Jazz Reality )
